Info zu Road

Fred Frith, der Improvisator, Komponist und Multi-Instrumentalist, der lachende Aussenseiter zwischen Rock und Jazz, Improvisation und Komposition legt mit seinem langjährigen Trio aus der Bay-Area eine atemberaubende Live Doppel-Album vor:

Album eins dokumentiert ein inspirierendes Trio-Konzert dieser aussergewöhnlich kreativen Musiker in der Stadthalle Köln im Rahmen des Week-End Fest 2019.

Auf Album zwei ist das Trio mit den Gästen Lotte Anker und Susana Santos Silva zu hören. Beide Musikerinnen verbindet eine lange Geschichte mit dem Trio. Lotte Anker hat in San Francisco und New York mit dem Trio gespielt und Susana Santos Silva war bei Auftritten in Brasilien im Jahr 2018 dabei, während beide auf Tourneen 2019 an der US-Ostküste und Europa eingeladen wurden. Lotte Anke und Susana Santos Silva befeuern das Trio und auch das inspirierte Trio wirkt wieder auf die Musikerinnen, sodass ein einzigartiger Kollektiv-Sound entsteht und mit einer mitreissenden Live-Energie begeistert.

Fred Frith
Though the point of reference for many remains the iconic band Henry Cow, which he co-founded in 1968 and which broke up more than 30 years ago, Fred Frith has never really stood still for an instant.

In bands such as Art Bears, Massacre, Skeleton Crew, Keep the Dog, Tense Serenity, the Fred Frith Guitar Quartet, Eye to Ear, and most recently Cosa Brava, he has always held true to his roots in rock and folk music, while exploring influences that range from the literary works of Eduardo Galeano to the art installations of Cornelia Parker.

The release of the seminal Guitar Solos in 1974 enabled him to simultaneously carve out a place for himself in the international improvised music scene, not only as an acclaimed solo performer but in the company of artists as diverse as Han Bennink, Chris Cutler, Jean-Pierre Drouet, Evelyn Glennie, Ikue Mori, Louis Sclavis, Stevie Wishart, Wu Fei, Camel Zekri, John Zorn, and scores of others.

He has also developed a personal compositional language in works written for Arditti Quartet, Asko Ensemble, Bang on a Can All-Stars, Ensemble Modern, Concerto Köln, and ROVA Sax Quartet, for example. Fred has been active as a composer for dance since the early 1980s, working with choreographers Bebe Miller, François Verret, and especially long-time collaborator and friend Amanda Miller, with whom he has created a compelling body of work over the last twenty years.

His film soundtracks (for award-winning films like Thomas Riedelsheimer’s Rivers and Tides and Touch the Sound, Peter Mettler’s Gambling, Gods, and LSD, and Deborah Kaufman and Alan Snitow’s Thirst, to name a few) won him a lifetime achievement award from Prague’s “Music on Film, Film on Music” Festival (MOFFOM) in 2007. The following year he received Italy’s Demetrio Stratos Prize (previously given to Diamanda Galas and Meredith Monk) for his life’s work in experimental music, and in 2010 was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Huddersfield in his home county of Yorkshire.

Fred currently teaches in the Music Department at Mills College in Oakland, California (renowned for over fifty years as the epicenter of the American experimental tradition), and in the Musik Akademie in Basel, Switzerland.
